    Yeah I don’t think anyone cares about it.

    Don't know if I posted this yet, but I know I mentioned I was watching Hawaii Five-0. Well, I watched every episode of that available on Netflix. I wish they had Season 9, but they only have through Season 8, and after careful consideration between Orange is the New Black and Madame Secretary or trying to think of other ideas, I decided on Madame Secretary. And it is great! I mean really great. Tea Leoni is brilliant and so is everybody else whose names I don't know yet. What a great show!

    Oldest temple structure known. It's even speculated it was originally constructed by hunter/gatherers, not a settled agricultural society/community. Outrageously interesting :)

    Do not think it was built by Hunter gatherers, the sheer size and astral accuracy doesn't fit the nomadic tribes characteristics at the time, basically according to archaeologists own history, there wouldn't have been enough hunter gather tribes to bond together to complete such a task. Considering only roughly 15% has been uncovered, we're talking about forges and blacksmiths who "weren't around back then" that would have been produced and made on mass scale just to keep moulding the tools required it would have been a 24hr non stop operation for decades and more for the timeline and that isn't a characteristic of Hunter gatherer tribes. It makes less sense the more you look at it.

    Tools at the time only last several hits into the rock before they became blunt and needed to be re-worked. I think that's someone people don't think of and assume a chisel was good for its lifespan. Not the case at all.

    I also have some more evidence 300 miles away that connects the site to an ancient tunnel system capable of housing up to 20,000 people, but more realistically 40-60,000 people up to 400ft and more under ground. It is one of the most extensive undercity dwelling dated back to the same timeline as the discoveries at the Tepe. Again thats not a hunter gather characteristic at all and just shows the magnitude and scale of the tunnels you can pretty much write off nomadic wanderers. They'd never rhave competed that in their lifetime nor several lifetimes.

    Most likely an ancient civilisation for sure, build the tunnels also to be safe from some catastrophic event, possibly a some hit as the necessary reason to go underground in the first place.

    The more you look and learn into this stuff the more you can use modern archaeological history against itself.
